Sumire Naoto wandered through the hallways, none of her friends had shown up for school and she was confused as to why. Everything had been fine the day before, she had been texting back and forth with them on group chats and they had all seemed perfectly happy. Her phone pinged and she looked at the text that had popped up on her screen with tired eyes.
Do what I say and nobody will get hurt. Come to the auditorium now.
-Ace
Her heart was pounding incessantly, she almost felt it reverberating through her bones as she practically sprinted to the auditorium. Nobody was there, it was pitch black and completely terrifying. She felt as if she had walked into her own personal horror movie. The screen in front of her suddenly lit up and a deep, robotic voice rang out over the speakers.
“My name is Ace and you have betrayed me. You will pay.” The speakers cut off and Sumire was left on her own trembling. Where were her friends? And what the hell did she have to do to get her them back? Suddenly, the door behind her opened and she spun- she hadn’t realised she had been crying until just now. Her boyfriend walked through the doors-his name was Junji.
Junji grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
“Are you okay?” He asked, planting a delicate kiss on her forehead.
